Harlem
Related Poem Content Details
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Langston Hughes will forever be one of my favorite poets. If I could have even an ounce of his talent I would be so grateful.
